For the message, Mike read from the 2nd chapter of Matthew. Because he is in a position of power, King Herod takes murderous action to defend himself from the "what if" — what if this newborn king is a threat to his rule? Meanwhile, Jesus is among those who suffer from what "what is." As a refugee, he flees to Egypt in the arms of his parents. How do fears of "what if?" keep us aligned with the status quo? How do we stand with those who must endure what is? Which king do we follow?
